Honeybun
The fastest low-volume viscometer for biologics out there
Unlock rapid viscosity & rheology for your biologics
Honeybun measures viscosity and rheology for up to 10 samples in a minute using just microliters of material. Its disposable consumables eliminate washing, while full shear-rate sweeps reveal exactly how your biologic formulations behave under different flow conditions. Ditch old school, one-at-a-time techniques that use too much sample and level up to the quickest, low-volume viscosity measurements out there. Get brochure.
• Rapid, parallel testing: Measure up to 10 samples in a minute, unlocking full viscosity and rheology profiles without slowing down development.
• Low sample volume: Requires as little as 35 µL per sample (even less in low-volume mode), making early-stage viscosity testing possible even when material is scarce.
• Broad viscosity range: Covers 0.5–150 cP, so you can characterize everything from early formulations to high-concentration biologics.
• Real-world temperatures: Run samples from 4–45°C, enabling measurements straight from the fridge, at ambient, or under physiological conditions.

Watch Honeybun in action
Short and sweet
Fill in all the details about your samples if that’s your jam or take the fast track – Honeybun’s software will auto-fill everything so you can just start your run. Three clicks gets you through experimental setup and right to collecting data.
Satisfy your craving
When you roll with Honeybun, you’ll finally be stuffed full of all the sweet viscosity data that you need. Honeybun’s speed and throughput make it easier than ever to gather viscosity any time you make a change in your protein, concentration or formulation.
Know your flow
Since Honeybun is a rheometer, every experiment includes a sweep of shear rates in each channel so you can compare how each and every sample is flowing – Newtonian or not.
Tasty at any temp
Control temp from 4 °C up to 45 °C so you’ll always know how your sample behaves – straight out of the fridge, at room temp, or in the heat of manufacturing.
